Lacey Intermediate All-Stars roll to win over New York

Lacey Little League's Intermediate (50-70) All-Stars rolled to a 14-4 win in five innings over Penfield Little League, the New York champions on Sunday in the Eastern Regionals in Comack, New York.

Lacey took a 4-3 lead after one inning on home runs by Anthony Clayton and Evan Wallis. From that point forward, it was all Lacey.

Pitcher Dylan Gudzak settled in during the second inning striking out six for the game and the Lacey offense did the rest. Lacey added home runs by Keith Apostolos and another by Wallis, and back-to-back shots by Ryan Kilmurray and Dylan Neumann.

Wallis pitched the final inning to secure the win and raise Lacey's record to 2-0.

Lacey has gotten help with the return of Neumann, who had his appendix removed less than three weeks ago, and gives it more flexibility on defense, and another strong bat.
